As soon as I begin to lose focus, God pulls me back.
One of the hardest lessons I have had to learn/am learning is that it is not about the people here. It is not about what they think or how they feel about me, or pleasing them or making them proud. God wants me to be the person HE wants me to be. I'm living to make HIM proud, and to please HIM. I try to hard to gain earthly approval I'm just never going to get. Not because I'm not good enough but because I'm not MEANT to get it.
I belong to my Heavenly Father and only my Heavenly Father. He loves me so incredibly much, and more than anyone else ever would or ever could. I need to be joyful in His love and His comfort, and not so discontent when I am not getting it from other people. He is all I need, all I want.
He is jealous for me, loves like a hurricane.
I am a tree, bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy.
All of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory.
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great Your affections are for me.
oh how He loves us, oh how He loves...
